VVIP - proof investigations into terror attacks

Terror attacks are almost immediately followed by visits of Ministers and Members of Parliaments to the site of the attack. The police force is compelled to facilitate the visit and provide security to the VVIPs, instead of focusing on sealing the site, evacuating the on-lookers and rushing the terror victims to the hospital. The hospitals are not spared either. Even while the families and friends of the victims of the terror attack anxiously await news of their loved ones and an opportunity to see them, they are pushed aside to literally make way for the VVIPs.

Letter to

Home Minister of India

We, the citizens of India, request you to urgently take measures to VVIP - proof investigations into terror attacks.

Terror attacks are almost immediately followed by visits of Ministers and Members of Parliaments to the site of the attack. The police force is compelled to facilitate the visit and provide security to the VVIPs, instead of focusing on the sealing the site, evacuating the on-lookers and rushing the terror victims to the hospital.

The hospitals where those injured in the attack are taken for medical care are not spared either. Even while the families and friends of the victims of the terror attack anxiously await news of their loved ones and an opportunity to see them, they are pushed aside to literally make way for the VVIPs.

We request you to issue directions that so long as the police authorities do not publicly declare that a visit to the site of the terror attack or the hospitals will not compromise the investigation or the interests of the victims of the attack, no one who is not directly connected with the investigation will visit the site or the hospitals, including Ministers, Members of Parliament and other VIPs.
